Distillation Equipment Upgrade Brewing

Basic Structure and Process Principles of Distillation Equipment

1. Basic Structure

A complete set of modern distillation equipment typically includes the following modules:

Pot Still

Column Still

Reflux Control Device

Condenser and Cooling System

Wine Collection Device

PLC Control System

Auxiliary Heating System (Steam, Electric Heating, or Thermal Oil)

2. Process Principle

The distillation process is based on the differences in boiling points of different components. By heating the fermented mash to evaporate the alcohol and other volatile components, the distilled alcohol fraction is then condensed and collected to purify, remove impurities, and impart aroma.

Core Advantages

1. High-Purity Extraction

Utilizing tower distillation and multi-stage reflux technology, this system effectively separates methanol, aldehydes, and other fusel alcohols, increasing the alcohol purity of the main distillate to over 95%, meeting the production needs of high-end spirits.

2. Intelligent Automation Control

Equipped with an advanced PLC system and touchscreen, precise settings for parameters such as temperature, reflux ratio, and steam pressure enable fully automated distillation, significantly reducing labor costs and human error.

3. Energy-Efficient Design

A built-in energy-saving heat exchanger and condensate recovery system optimize energy consumption, increasing average energy efficiency by over 25%, making it suitable for environmentally friendly production.

4. Selected Materials and Exquisite Craftsmanship

The main body of the equipment is constructed of food-grade 304/316 stainless steel, while key components (such as the drum neck and tower body) are made of deoxidized copper. Rigorous welding techniques and mirror-finish polishing ensure compliance with international food safety standards.

Distillation solutions for various liquor types

1. Baijiu Distillation

Supports distillation of solid, liquid, and semi-solid fermentation raw materials. The multi-stage fractionating tower automatically switches between the head, heart, and tail of the liquor, significantly preserving aroma and purifying it.

2. Whiskey/Brandy

The copper pot releases aromatic aldehydes, enhancing malt or fruity notes. Slow heating and multiple distillations enhance flavor levels.

3. Vodka/Rum

The multi-stage tower structure and high reflux ratio achieve extremely high purity requirements, resulting in a clear, transparent distillate with a smooth taste, suitable for export to international spirits standards.
